We stopped needing this with
0329b67048
(Dec 2016).
The function sets `bot.can_admin`,
which was only used in `bot_data.get_editable`.
We removed two tests (and then put back
some test setup that needed to leak down
to the last test).
This is code simplification motivated
by a recent bug that we fixed with some
server changes, but which was really
caused in some sense by our client code
using an overly finicky
condition to check falsiness.
For cross-realm bots, the value of
`user.bot_owner_id` may be `null`, or it
may simply be `undefined`, depending
on whether the server passes `None`
or simply omits the field.
We don't want out client code to be
coupled to that rather arbitrary
decision.
We were doing a `!== null` check instead
of checking for falsiness, which led to
blueslip errors in the past. Because a
bot owner id could be plausibly 0, a falsiness
check would be brittle in a different way.
Now we avoid that ugliness by calling
`get_bot_owner_user`, which either returns
an object or `undefined`.
And then the caller can just do a concise
check for whether `bot_owner` exists.
And we also fix up the crufty code that
was putting `bot_owner_full_name` on to
the object instead of using a local.
We have a bug report for this again, although
it might be on an old branch.
Fixes#13621.
This allows us to block use of the desktop app with insecure versions
(we simply fail to load the Zulip webapp at all, instead rendering an
error page).
For now we block only versions that are known to be both insecure and
not auto-updating, but we can easily adjust these parameters in the
future.
We know that by default the value of `enable_stream_push_notifications` is
true, so on some server if push notifications are disabled then due to
```
{{#unless show_push_notifications_tooltip}}
```
the `enable_stream_push_notifications` checkbox is rendered as unchecked
and when we update any other setting in the "Stream notifications" section,
due to `settings_notifications.update_page()` all checkboxes are changed to
current values which means above checkbox get checked.
We can deal with this bug either making changes in
`settings_notifications.update_page()` but we should show check/uncheck
state of checkboxes anyway so removing this `unless` condition fixes this
bug.
Instead of having logical expressions in templates, it's always preferred
to calculating them in javascript and pass the results as a context. It
also enhances the readability of templates and testing of such logic is
easier in js over templates.
`all_notification_settings_labels` is misleading that this variable is a
list of notifications setting labels so changed it to
`all_notification_settings`.
The reason for extracting this function is that getting the text, integer,
boolean value from the input elements (like checkboxes, dropdowns) is a
common task, and later we can use this function to get the input element
value in `settings_notifications` in the upcoming commit.
This is a bug fix where, if a list_render
object with the given name exists and it's items
have been sorted, then the filtered_list's data
does not get updated on re-rendering.
This line was present in the original commit
9576d5caef.
The use case for this are small or fixed tables, which do not need
filtering support. Thus we are able to not include the unnecessary
search input inside the html parent container.
It is not used at present, but will be required when we refactor
the settings pages.
We also split out exports.validate_filter function for
unit testing the above condition.
As a consequence of too many options in the bottom `Other permissions`
subsection, the `Save` button could end up too far up from the bottom,
such that it might appear offscreen on low-height laptops.
We fix this by reorganizing the settings in a way that is both more
intuitive and also ensures that none of the subsections are too tall.
Fixes: #14274.
Before this commit, the reactions code would
take the `message.reactions` structure from
the server and try to "collapse" all the reactions
for the same users into the same reactions,
but with each reaction having a list of user_ids.
It was a strangely denormalized structure that
was awkward to work with, and it made it really
hard to reason about whether the data was in
the original structure that the server sent or
the modified structure.
Now we use a cleaner, normalized Map to keep
each reaction (i.e. one per emoji), and we
write that to `message.clean_reactions`.
The `clean_reactions` structure is now the
authoritatize source for all reaction-related
operations. As soon as you try to do anything
with reactions, we build the `clean_reactions`
data on the fly from the server data.
In particular, when we process events, we just
directly manipulate the `clean_reactions` data,
which is much easier to work with, since it's
a Map and doesn't duplicate any data.
This rewrite should avoid some obscure bugs.
I use `r` as shorthand for the clean reaction
structures, so as not to confuse it with
data from the server's message.reactions.
It also avoids some confusion where we use
`reaction` as a var name for the reaction
elements.
We've often gotten the complaint that Zulip's emoji are a bit too big;
this should address the worst consequences of that (line-wrapping
being off with large emoji present) while still making it possible to
easily see what a given emoji is.
The right place to change this is in rendered_markdown.scss, not the
main emoji definition in zulip.scss, as the latter is also used in
places like the emoji picker where a larger size is valuable.
Closes#12731, an older PR that did this with slightly different
parameters (and without a comment).

You can test this on dev:
* do "-stream:Verona" in the search bar (the minus
sign negates the search here)
* reload the browser
You should see the same search (all streams besides Verona).
We simplify the code for deciding whether
we show a subscribe button or not, and in
doing so avoid a blueslip error where we
were passing `undefined` into `get_sub()`.
We had this API:
people.add_in_realm = full-fledged user
people.add = not necessarily in realm
Now the API is this:
people.add = full-fledged user
people._add_user = internal API for cross-realm bots
and deactivated users
I think in most of our tests the distinction between
people.add() and people.add_in_realm() was just an
accident of history and didn't reflect any real intention.
And if I had to guess the intention in 99% of the cases,
folks probably thought they were just creating ordinary,
active users in the current realm.
In places where the distinction was obviously important
(because a test failed), I deactivated the user via
`people.deactivate`.
For the 'basics' test in the people test suite, I clean
up the test setup for Isaac. Before this commit I was
adding him first as a non-realm user then as a full-fledged
user, but this was contrived and confusing, and we
didn't really need it for test coverage purposes.
We want to move more logic to stream_data to facilitate
testing.
Both before and after this commit, we essentially build a
new list of users for typeahead, but now the new list
excludes subscribed users. We can do even better than
this in a follow-up commit.
Before this commit, presence used get_realm_count()
to determine whether a realm was "small" (and thus
should show all human users in the buddy list, even
humans that had not been active in a while).
The `get_realm_count` function--despite a very wrong,
misleading comment--was including bots in its count.
The new function truly counts only active humans
(and no bots).
Because we were overcounting users before this change,
we should technically adjust `BIG_REALM_COUNT` down
by some amount to reflect our original intention there
on the parameter. I'm leaving it alone for now, though,
since we've improved the performance of the buddy list
over time, and it's probably fine if a few "big" realms
get re-classified as small realms (and show more users)
by virtue of this change.
(Also note that this cutoff value only affects the
"normal" view of the buddy list; both small realms
and large realms will show long-inactive users if you
do searches.)

This is a prep commit for the new navbar, since the new navbar switches
between a search bar and stream descriptions, it's easier to have the

Given that can_mark_messages_read is called whenever the blue box
cursor stops on a message and that it is calculated purely on the
basis of sorted_term_types, it makes sense to cache the result.
Previously, when list_render.create was called, if a list_render
object with the given name existed, it returned the existing
list_render object with the previous properties, without the property
to sort the lists added. The root cause of the bug was that when we
added the sorting click handlers, we put them just in the constructor,
not in __set_events, the function we call from appropriate code paths
to add the other necessary click handlers.
Fix this by moving the code to add the sorting properties into
__set_events().

If you were in the "Starred messages" narrow and

Original email address is shown to admin users in subscriber list when
email_address_visibilty is set to "Admins only" by passing delivery_email
at required places. Email address are not shown to non-admin users when
visibility is set to "Admins only".
Tweaked by tabbott to fix a few bugs and dead code.
Fixes a part of #13541.
User IDs are more robust than email addresses as they don't change
with time, and also don't have complications with
different email_address_visibility settings.
This is a common UX pattern for forms - a user would expect the
input to be submitted on hitting enter.
So, create a 'keypress' event listener on the input field for the
new status, which calls 'submit_new_status' on enter key press.
This intent is that we'll be able to reuse this when editing streams
as well.
* Rename method: filter_with_new_topic to filter_with_new_param.
* Fix tests and method calls.
This extends our email address visibility settings to deny access to
user email addresses even to organization administrators.
At the moment, they can of course change the setting (which leaves an
audit trail), but in the future only organization owners will be able
to change that setting.
While we're at this, we rewrite the settings_data.js test to cover all
the cases in a more consistent way.
Fixes#14111.

The example regexes for linkifier settings are not themed according

The copy of the styling for users_hover_info:
```
-#users_hover_info {
- left: 25px;
- top: -40px;
-}
```
Looks less good than the common one with #hoverinfo, so we remove it.
Currently, the cursor for the date input field in the settings page
is 'not-allowed' as it has the disabled attribute because we want
users to pick the date from the date picker. But this leads to
confusion whether the field is editable at all.
Change the cursor to 'pointer' to make it clear that the field has
a click action associated with it.
Clicking on the 'Owner' value for a row in the list of bots does
nothing, and causes a blueslip error.
This is because the map object in which we store the users have
integer keys, while we pass the owner id as string.
This is fixed by parsing the owner id to integer before passing it
on.
Fixes#14107.
The file populates `windows.i18n`, so now
the file name matches our convention.
Note that the module really just initializes
`i18next` and then does this:
window.i18n = i18next;
It doesn't really add any functionality to
third party library.
Before 2018, we used a feature of i18next where
we would cache translations in local storage
for up to two weeks:
var cacheOptions = {
// ...
prefix: 'i18next:' + page_params.server_generation + ':',
expirationTime: 2*7*24*60*60*1000, // 2 weeks
};
i18next.init({
/// ...
cache: cacheOptions
}
Because `server_generation` would change each time you
upgraded a server, a frequently upgraded server like
chat.zulip.org would cause its active users to start
to accumulate lots of obsolete key/value pairs in local
storage over the two weeks.
See #4443 for more details.
We eventually reduced the cache life to 2 days. And then
on top of that, newer versions of the server would start
to clean up after themselves using this commit from
April 2017:
e3f1d025ae
We then removed the caching option altogether a year
later in May 2018:
cff40c557b
We kept around the code to remove all the old keys, though.
This was particularly important for users who may have
been hitting servers that did an upgrade to the new
version from some older version that didn't have the
key-fixing code.
But mostly the problem takes care of itself after
either two days or two weeks, even on really out-of-date
servers.
The original problem was most likely to affect server
admins that did a lot of upgrades (and possibly only really
affected chat.zulip.org), so as long as those server
admins continued their patterns, it's highly likely that
they've done several upgrades since May 2018 that would
have cleaned these keys out for good.
And, again, even if there is some strange straggler here,
they probably only have one set of keys that will expire
either two days or two weeks after an upgrade, depending
on how long ago the prior upgrade was. (All of their
keys based on older versions of `server_generation` would
have long since expired.)
Finally, any upgrade certainly won't make the problem
worse for any users under this hypothetical situation,
since the new server won't be writing new keys.
So I am removing the cleanup code.
This extracts a new module with three
functions, which we will test with 100%
line coverage:
- show_email
- email_for_user_settings
- get_time_preferences
The first two break several dependencies
in the codebase on `settings_org.js`. The
`get_time_preferences` breaks an annoying
dependency on `page_params` within people.
The module is pretty cohesive, in terms that
all three functions are just light wrappers
around `page_params` and/or `settings_config`.
Now all the modules that want to call show_email()
only have to require `settings_data`, instead of
having a dependency on the much heavier
`settings_org.js` module.
I also make some of the unit tests here be more
full-stack, where instead of stubbing show_email,
I basically just toggle `page_params.is_admin`.
Users who are using ZulipDesktop or haven't managed to auto-update to
ZulipElectron should be strongly encouraged to upgrade.
We'll likely want to move to something even stricter that blocks
loading the app at all, but this is a good start.
This follows the convention of other code calling into
add_sub_to_table of checking whether the stream settings overlay is
open (and thus in the DOM) before trying to rerender it.
This fixes a bug where you can’t open the same overlay twice in a row
in IE 11, which doesn’t support HashChangeEvent.oldURL; it was exposed
by commit 05be16e051 (late 2018).
While here, parse the hash from oldURL in a less ad-hoc way.

We add these two functions to the API,
so that we no longer have `alert_words_ui`
using private data from `alert_word`:
alert_words.has_alert_word()
alert_words.get_word_list()
And to initialize the data, we have a proper
`initialize` method that is passed in only
the parameters that it needs from `ui_init`.
(We also move the step of deleting `alert_words`
from `page_params` to the `ui_init` module.)
Because it's a bit less cumbersome to initialize
`alert_words`, we now just it directly in the
node tests for `alert_words_ui`.
This is follow up to da79fd206a
I accidentally skipped over pm_conversations. Same
ideas as the bigger previous commit--we pass in params
to the initialize function and do the delete cleanup
within ui_init.

This cleans up the handoff of page_params
data between ui_init and modules that
take over ownership of page_params-derived
data.
Read the long comment in ui_init for a bit
more context.
Most of this diff is actually test cleanup.
And a lot of the diff to "real" code is
just glorified `s/page_params/params/`
in the `initialize` functions.
One little oddity is that we don't actually
surrender ownership of `page_params.user_id`
to `people.js`. We could plausibly sweep
the rest of the codebase to just use
`people.my_user_id()` consistently, but it's
not a super high priority thing to fix,
since the value never changes.
The stream_data situation is a bit messy,
since we consume `page_params` data in the
initialize() function in addition to the
`params` data we "own". I added a comment
there and intend to follow up. I tried
to mostly avoid the "word soup" by extracting
three locals at the top.
Finally, I don't touch `alert_words` yet,
despite it also doing the delete-page-params-data
dance. The problem is that `alert_words`
doesn't have a proper `initialize()`. We
should clean that up and have it use a
`Map` internally, too.
This gives them cache-compatible URLs, and also avoids some extra
copies of the sprite sheet images.

We were incorrectly passing a string version of an integer ID,
e.g. "10", to a function expecting an integer, e.g. 10. Fix this by
using the common get_stream_id function intended for the purpose
rather than hand-written parsing.
This was likely broken in the recent Dict -> IntDict/Map migrations.
We were computing id_of_last_message_sent_by_us
for a valid reason before
fa44d2ea69
was committed in December 2017 to remove the
autoscroll_forever setting.
Since then the only thing that the
conditional for `id_of_last_message_sent_by_us`
short-circuits is a buggy computation of
`id_of_last_message_sent_by_us` itself.
Removing this dead code obviously makes the code
more clear, plus it does save some needless and
possibly bug-prone computation.
In particular, I am trying to lock down `rows.id` to
be more strict about receiving bogus elements, and
removing this code will help with that.
The bug was in complex `if` condition, which should mean that users should
be allowed to create a User group only when they are either admin or user
group creation policy is set to everyone.
Fixes: #13909.
We now no longer do local echo if a user has logged in or visited a
narrow so recently that we are still fetching new messages for them in
their current message list.
Since we want any message list we're displaying to show only
contiguous sequences of messages within that view, it's not correct to
append messages that were just sent at the end unless
fetch_status.has_found_newest shows that we are up to date with the
latest messages from the server.
While we have some logic aimed at correcting our-of-order message IDs
in Zulip, even a brief (few seconds) temporary display of that is a
bug that we should avoid.
This means that we should disable local echo when the user's current
narrow is not up to date. We can be sure that we'll get the message
the user sent from the server either during the catch-up process or
when we receive it back from th server via the events system.
That particular race window can be several seconds in situations where
somebody is in a narrow where their pointer (or equivalent) is far
behind the latest messages.
This commit only fixes the local echo race condition. There's a
related bug where new messages sent by (potentially other) users
delivered to the client via server_events might race with our fetching
until we get the latest messages in a given narrow, which we'll need
to deal with separately.
See https://github.com/zulip/zulip/issues/8989 for more details. It's
possible that we'll close the issue after this fix, since any
additional fixes would add a lot of complexity, and I'm not sure how
much of a problem this will really be in practice after this fix.
Note that we don't have great automated testing for
`try_deliver_locally` (or really `echo.js` in general). For
`try_deliver_locally` the node tests would probably be 8x more complex
than the code itself, since that function is basically "glue" code
touching several external dependencies. It's also kind of hard to
screw up this code without getting pretty obvious failures early in
the QA process.
Fixes#8989.
With the new Map, we want to make sure we
convert the square number into an int.
The symptom here was you'd click on the
square, and the data would get passed
around via the event system, but when
we went to draw the board, the idx value
was a string.
This moves some code from settings_display.js
into the new module settings_config.js.
Extracting this module breaks some dependencies
on settings_display.js (which has some annoying
transitive dependencies, including jQuery).
In particular this isolates stream_data from
from settings_display.js.
Two of the three structures that we moved here
weren't even directly used by settings_display.js,
since we do a lot of rendering in the modules
admin.js and setting.js.
We make get_all_display_settings() a function
to avoid a require-time dependency on page_params.
Breaking the dependencies simplifies a few
node tests.
Most of the node test complexity came from the
following commit in March 2019:
5a130097bf
The commit itself seems harmless enough, but
dependencies can have a somewhat "viral" nature,
where making stream_data depend on settings_display
caused us to modify four different node tests.

This refactoring is the first step toward sharing
our markdown code with mobile. This focuses on
the Zulip layer, not the underlying third party `marked`
library.
In this commit we do a one-time initialization to
wire up the markdown functions, but after further
discussions with Greg, it might make more sense
to just pass in helpers on every use of markdown
(which is generally only once per sent message).
I'll address that in follow-up commits.
Even though it looks like a pretty invasive change,
you will note that we barely needed to modify the
node tests to make this pass. And we have pretty
decent test coverage here.
All of the places where we used to depend on
other Zulip modules now use helper functions that
any client (e.g. mobile) can configure themselves.
Or course, in the webapp, we configure these from
modules like people/stream_data/hash_util/etc.
Even in places where markdown used to deal directly with
data structures from other modules, we now use functions.
We may revisit this in a future commit, and we might
just pass data directly for certain things.
I decided to keep the helpers data structure completely flat,
so we don't have ugly nested names like
`helpers.emoji.get_emoji_codepoint`. Because of this,
some of the names aren't 1:1, which I think is fine.
For example, we map `user_groups.is_member_of` to
`is_member_of_user_group`.
It's likely that mobile already has different names
for their versions of these functions, so trying for
fake consistency would only help the webapp. In some
cases, I think the webapp functions have names that
could be improved, but we can clean that up in future
commits, and since the names aren't coupled to markdown
itself (i.e. only the config), we will be less
constrained.
It's worth noting that `marked` has an `options`
data structure that it uses for configuration, but
I didn't piggyback onto it, since the `marked`
options are more at the lexing/parsing layer vs.
the app-data layer stuff that our helpers mostly
help with.
Hopefully it's obvious why I just put helpers in
the top-level namespace for the module rather than
passing it around through multiple layers of the
parser.
There were a couple places in markdown where we
were doing awkward `hasOwnProperty` checks for
emoji-related stuff. Now we use the Python
principle of ask-forgiveness-not-permission and
just handle the getters returning falsy data. (It
should be `undefined`, but any falsy value is
unworkable in the places I changed, so I use
the simpler, less brittle form.)
We also break our direct dependency on
`emoji_codes.json` (with some help from the
prior commit).
In one place I rename streamName to stream_name,
fixing up an ancient naming violation that goes
way back to before this code was even extracted
away from echo.js. I didn't bother to split this
out into a separate commit, since 2 of the 4
lines would be immediately re-modified in the
subsequent commit.
Note that we still depend on `fenced_code`
via the global namespace, instead of simply
requiring it directly or injecting it. The
reason I'm postponing any action there is that
we'll have to change things once we move
markdown into a shared library. (The most
likely outcome is that we'll rename/move both files
at the same time and fix the namespace/require
details as part of that commit.)
Also the markdown code still relies on `_` being
available in the global namespace. We aren't
quite ready to share code with mobile yet, but the
underscore dependency should not be problematic,
since mobile already uses underscore to use the
webapp's shared typing_status module.
This mostly moves logic into people.js.
The people functions added here are glorified
two-liners.
One thing that changes here is that we
are a bit more rigorous about duplicate
names.
The code is slightly awkward, because this
commit preserves the strange behavior
that if 'alice|42' doesn't match on
the user with the name "alice" and user_id
"42", we instead look for a user whose
name is "alice|42". That seems like a
misfeature to me, but there's a test for
it, so I want to check with Tim that it's not
intentional behavior before I simplify
the code.
We add this API to emoji.js, so that markdown
doesn't need to look at internal data structures
(or even need to understand any kind of record
format for results).
Here are the functions:
get_realm_emoji_url()
get_emoji_name()
get_emoji_codepoint()
We use the API now in markdown, which eliminates
the need for the markdown parser to require
the emoji JSON file.
Each function has a simple docstring:

Also we have simple test coverage for the API
(including tests that verify the docstrings).
This name was misleading, because we weren't
actually setting realm_filters (that's what
`page_params.realm_filters = realm_filters`
is for); we were instead updating our
realm filter rules.
Commit 612b237cec introduced a
regression that broke the “Discard” button, because
get_subsection_property_elements returns a jQuery object rather than
array, and jQuery objects don’t have a forEach method. Change it to
return an array.

We are gonna phase out util.get_message_topic()
in our entire codebase eventually, but we
certainly don't need it here, since the local
echo codepath is using brand new objects that
we construct inside the compose code, and
there's no danger of legacy "subject" data.
My goal for the markdown code is to keep it
free of any accidental dependencies that we
can easily avoid, as I think there's some
possible future where we split out the code
as its own library for people who want to
render Zulip markdown in non-core projects.
These functions were just shims that were
used in the somewhat painful migration from
subject_* to topic_*.
The commit 4572be8c27
fixed it so that the client never needs to
deal with "subject_links".
So now we just go back to simpler code:
message.topic_links = links
links = message.topic_links
I am not quite ready to declare victory on
the subject/topic migration, but we are super
close. In this commit I bump a blueslip
warning to a blueslip error, so that we'll
be notified of any codepath that is still
using the janky fall-back-to-subject defensive
code here.
If we go a couple days without any errors, then
we can remove the blueslip warning and the
defensive code immediately and then inline
the callers at our leisure. I wouldn't be
wildly against keeping these wrappers in some
parts of the code, but that debate is out of
the scope of this immediate fix, and I haven't
thought hard about it yet.
We can basically sweep set_message_topic() now,
if we wanted to, since it's truly just a one-liner.
(At one point it was encapsulating something
like `message.subject = foo`).
This required a tiny change to compose_fade
test setup.
We now handle the all/everyone/stream case at
the top of userMentionHandler.
Previously the code would do strange things
in the case that some user had the name "all"
or "everyone" or "stream". It would only
affect local echo, and maybe we prevent users
from having those names, so I doubt there
were any real user-facing issues here.
But the new code is clearly more simple and
more correct.
Most of this logic is specific to markdown
message processing, so we move the code to
markdown.js.
The only responsibility that we leave with
`emoji.js` is to provide us with a list
of translations (regex and replacement text).
But now `markdown.js` actually (directly) executes
those translations against Zulip messages
as part of its preprocessing.
This should simplify the upcoming mobile conversion.
Instead of mobile needing to duplicate this fairly
complex function, they will just need to pass
us in a list similar to `emoji_translations` inside
of `emoji.js`. That code has a comment that shows
what the data structure looks like.
There are six emoticon regexes that allow us
make translations such as ":)" to ":slight_smile".
We now build these as soon as we read in the
JSON data, instead of rebuilding them every time
we convert a message to markdown.
It's possible that we should just hardcode this
data:
[
{ regex: /(\:\))/g, replacement_text: ':slight_smile:' },
{ regex: /(\(\:)/g, replacement_text: ':slight_smile:' },
{ regex: /(\:\/)/g, replacement_text: '😕' },
{ regex: /(<3)/g, replacement_text: '❤️' },
{ regex: /(\:\()/g, replacement_text: ':frown:' },
{ regex: /(\:\|)/g, replacement_text: '😑' }
]
OTOH I suppose it's possible that some server
admins will want to modify emoji_codes.json to
have custom emoticons.
I am 99% sure we can rely on trimRight() and
trim() being available in all browsers that
we support. I verified in FF.
This removes the util dependency from both
modules touched here.
We now treat util like a leaf module and
use "require" to import it everywhere it's used.
An earlier version of this commit moved
util into our "shared" library, but we
decided to wait on that. Once we're ready
to do that, we should only need to do a
simple search/replace on various
require/zrequire statements plus a small
tweak to one of the custom linter checks.
It turns out we don't really need util.js
for our most immediate code-sharing goal,
which is to reuse our markdown code on
mobile. There's a little bit of cleanup
still remaining to break the dependency,
but it's minor.
The util module still calls the global
blueslip module in one place, but that
code is about to be removed in the next
few commits.
I am pretty confident that once we start
sharing things like the typeahead code
more aggressively, we'll start having
dependencies on util. The module is barely
more than 300 lines long, so we'll probably
just move the whole thing into shared
rather than break it apart. Also, we
can continue to nibble away at the
cruftier parts of the module.
This generalizes existing code for the presence code path that is
generically useful for avoiding useless work that will be discarded.
We make an exception for the one type of request that needs to happen
while reloading, namely the one to clean up our event queue.
We used to have a block of code doing this just in the presence
endpoint because that's where we'd had error-handling problems with it
not being present, but it seems more correct for it to run
unconditionally on all HTTP requests.
This requires adding a dependency of channel on reload_state, which we
record in the webpack configuration for now.
The actual goal we have is that suspect_offline is correct so that we
can rely on that field when determining how to do error handling in
the presence system.
This should return us to a situation where we won't get blueslip
browser error reporting for users created while a device was offline
just before it reloads.
This avoids risk of logging blueslip errors for user IDs seen in the
presence response that we haven't heard about from the server_events
system because we're offline and in the process of reloading.
The issue only affected large realms; see
02bc630881 and `git log
-Ssuspect_offline` for details.
